' .T all whom it may concemr Qof ata nk 5 and has its other and open teriorly of saidtank 5. The "lower endof lar vehicles, the a paratus being conveniently located relative to the engine.

The invention aimstto rov'idesimple and efiective means for exp rtiouslyvaporizing gasolene and impre nating air. with the vapor to that extent that the same can be used in an explosive engine of an automobile. To this end I provide two tanks, one containing an air an fuel mixer connected direct to the manifold of a gasolene engine, while the other contains gasolene into which air is drawn through the action of the engine.

My apparatus will be hereinafter considered in detail and then claimed and refv erencewill now be had to'the drawing form ing a part of this specification, wherein there is illustrated the preferred embodiment of my invention, but it is to be under-. stood that the structural elements thereof .are susceptible to various changes without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. f a v In the drawings Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional. view of the carbureting apparatus, ig.- 2 is a similar view of an an inlet nozzle, and Fig. 3 is a similar view of an air and fuel mixer.

In the aecornpanying nates a gasolene exp osive e known and ordinary ty -tion with this engine t at I dispense with the use of carburetors, and; connect the manifold of the engine by a 'pipo 2 and drawings 1 (1125' 4 e 02 the well branches 3 to one end of aita eringper forated.-;.af iand fuel mixer 4. 'e 'air and fuel mixer 4 .is"located in the upper end t is in connec lene tank 7. The gaso one tank -7 .is 1'0- vided with anopening 8 normally close by 8. ca 9,whereby gasolene-ltlcan'be placed within the tanl Extending into the tank 7 within the bottom thereof is an air inlet nozzle 11 which is preferably tapered and erforated, as at 12; This nozzle is connecte to. a standpipe 13 having an ordinary check valve 14.

' 15 esignates a deflector suspended within the tank 7 beneath the end of the pipe 6, to preventthe raw gasolene 10 from entering said pipe.

the tank 5 is connected b apipe 6 to a gaso-- In operation, the engine- 1 creates a; s1'-- tion in the air and fuel mixer 4 and tends to create a vacuum in the tank 5, pipe 6 and tank 7,and thispartial vacuum causes the check valve 14 too en and admit air through the nozzle 11 into t e tank 7 .The air passes upwardlythrough the gasolene 10 and passes into the mixer tank 5, where the impregnated air,commingles with the air taken in through the air and fuel mixer i. The deflector 15 is simply used as a safety factor to prevent raw gasolene from passing into the [pipes 6 and the tank 5.

Having now described my invention what I claim 'as new, is r 1 v 1. In a carburetin-g apparatus for auto1no= biles, the combination with an en ine, of a mixer tank, an air and fuel mixer coated in the upper end of said tankand adapted to connect with the engine, a gasolene tank, a pipe connecting said gasolene tank-with the .lower end of said mixer tank a perforated tapering inlet nozzle extendlng into said gasolene tank at the bottom thereof,.a stand pipe connecting with said nozzle, extenorly of said gasolene'tankand a check valve carsaid stand pipe.
